Sign count thread

[spinbaby]

The yard signs are beginning to come out. The next time you're out driving, take a count and report back here with the location, the date, and the number of signs for each candidate.

Washington, PA
4/2/08
2 Clinton, 4 Obama

[Cosmocat]

1. Central Pa ...

as noted in the other string ... There have been about a dozen or so Ron Paul signs up for almost a year now ...

There are a couple of Hill signs in my little town, long standing dem activist got her hands on them and got them out to her spots ... Outside of that no other Hill or Obama signs in the county that I can see ... A reasonable amount of Obama bumper stickers ...

[spinbaby]

2. The only Ron Paul signs I've seen

Have been plastered all over a mini van that parks near the Chinese restaurant I frequent.

[IntertubeGuy]

30. Is that van down by the river?

I know that guy!

[spinbaby]

3. Washington, PA

Gained an Obama sign on the way home

2 Clinton, 5 Obama

[spinbaby]

6. Hillary's picked up a few

6 Clinton, 5 Obama, Washington, 4/6/08

I was in Sewickley today, too, and the only sign I saw was for Ron Paul.

[noel711]

4. Lehigh Valley

Before Obama showed up, saw only one.

Since his visit, seen 6 Obama, 1 Hillary..

[femmocrat]

5. Westmoreland County... 2 huge Ron Paul placards on Rt. 119.

One Hillary sign in Sewickley Twp. One Obama sign in Mt. Pleasant. How does the rest of the county look?

4/5/08

7. Susquehanna University; Selinsgrove, Snyder County

Haven't seen many signs up around here besides Ron Paul ones (I'm a local). But the uni students love those Obama bumper stickers. Sorry, no numbers beyond "a bunch."

[Freedomofspeech]

18. I live in Scottdale and we have some Obama signs here..

lots of Hillary signs in Mt. Pleasant. The mayor there is supporting her, and he is a very popular person.

8. South Media (Delaware Co.), April 6th - 3 Obama, 2 Clinton

[spinbaby]

9. I'm really struck by how few signs there are

Not just for Hillary and Obama, but for local contests. Here we are two weeks out and nary a sign in sight. Is there some kind of a sign shortage? Printers on strike?

[Cosmocat]

10. Not local elections ...

We have 13 ...

I repeat, THIRTEEN candidates for an open spot for our congressman in our district ... Not to mention the presidential election ...

And, there are less yard signs than last year when the commissioners and ROW offices were up ...

Why, the local candidates could campaign more locally AND know people who both will get them out and put them in their businesses and yards ... Freakin congressional canidates don't know anyone, really ...

I also know, the federal candidates have a hard time getting their yard signs out ... We still don't have hill or Obamas up here, like it was with Casey two years ago ...

12. Few competitive races

There are few competitive races in central and eastern PA. The most competitive Dem race in PA (other than for President) is for State Treasurer (snore).

There is much less competition for State legislative seats than the previous 2 elections.

The Repubs have some very competitive primaries for US House seats in rural parts of PA.

13. I drove through that area last weekend on Rt. 1, and did not see any signs

For either candidate. Kind of surprising. When I got into Montgomery County I saw a lot more signs.

[JustinL]

31. same route, April 20th - 6 Obama, 3 Clinton

[JPZenger]

11. Today I saw 30 Hillary signs, but ....

Today, I saw 30 Hillary signs being displayed. The only thing was - they were all in the windows of a Hillary campaign office.

[Number9Dream]

14. Between Nazareth and Bethlehem, Lehigh Valley...

On my daily drive between Nazareth and Bethlehem, I've seen 3 Obama lawn signs, and 1 Hillary lawn sign.

[noel711]

15. In Quakertown I saw my first Hillary sign...

then driving up to Allentown saw many many more
Obama and then a smattering of the well respected
Ron Paul... (those rabid nuts have posted Paul
signs up and down I-78!)

But only 1 Clinton sign in the area I cover..

[rickrok66]

16. Southside of Pittsburgh

Counting all types of signs incuding bumperstickers:

6 - Obama
3 - Clinton
2 - Ron Paul

[JPZenger]

17. Lehigh Valley is exploding with Obama signs

For many weeks, there were no signs or bumper stickers available for Obama. In the last few days, they have exploded throughout the Lehigh Valley.

[spinbaby]

19. Washington, PA

Hillary: 3
Obama: 5

One Obama sign disappeared and I think a Hillary sign may have as well.

[bcoylepa]

20. just back

from a trip through Bucks County to Bradford where I live - the only place that has Clinton signs is Scranton/Wilkes Barre - she is not active here up north
there are Obama signs and Ron Paul signs in Bucks and Bradford - no Hillary ( maybe 1 or 2!)

[iris5426]

21. North suburbs of Pittsburgh

I've seen 2 Ron Paul signs near the interchange for I279 near my house, as well as one Hillary sign in a yard in a nearby neighborhood. Most of the other signs I see are for local races.

As far as bumper stickers, I've seen 3 for Hillary, one for Obama, and I'm still sporting my Edwards sticker...

[yasmina27]

22. Suburbs of Pittsburgh

Irwin to Bethel Park, through White Oak, McKeesport, & West Mifflin.

On my way to work, I counted today 29 signs for Obama (not counting my own) and 2 for Hillary.

[joanski0]

23. Greene Co. 50 Miles South of Pittsburgh

I have two Obama signs in my yard. I gave a third one to my nephew in Waynesburg. Other than that, I have seen no Hillary signs and no Obama signs. They did open an Obama headquarters in Waynesburg, so maybe some are around there.

[spinbaby]

24. There seems to be a shortage of signs

Just yesterday I noticed a flurry of Obama signs in Washington, like they had just gotten them. I'll be canvassing in Washington this weekend, so I'll be around town mor to get a better look.

[joanski0]

25. I ordered my yard signs from the Obama website.

When my brother went to the Obama headquarters in Waynesburg and asked for one, they said they like a donation of $15 for one of those.

[tigereye]

29. there was a shortage of Hillary signs also, from what I heard

they were dear, and so were buttons, oddly.

[JustinL]

26. Wallingford (Delaware Co.), Apr. 18th - 3 Obama, 0 Clinton

[Freedomofspeech]

27. My friend and I went out the other night and put out 25 signs for

Sen. Obama. They are in Scottdale and along Route 119. It tried to get more signs yesterday at the Greensburg office, but they were all gone.
They look so beautiful where we planted them!!

[JustinL]

32. same route, Apr. 20th - 4 Obama, 0 Clinton

[tigereye]

28. in my near Pittsburgh neighborhood my Hillary sign is the only sign, period

as I drive through nearby neighborhoods, I see half Obama and half Hillary.


Squirrel Hill seems to have more Obama signs.

this is as of 4/19, with the election only days away.
